Seventh Circuit -- Edward Raybourne v. CIGNA


De novo review of post-remand agency finding.

In that insurer was arguing against claimant to the SSA at the time tat it denied benefits (against the SSA finding), insurer acted in a procedurally unreasonable manner.

No error in award of fees.  No error in award of fees for the entirety of the litigation, given single legal theory throughout.
